Hawaii state officials yesterday canceled a tsunami advisory prompted by a magnitude 7.

7 earthquake that struck off the western coast of Canada on Saturday evening. The advisory was
canceled shortly before 4 a.m. local time after the anticipated waves rolled in lower than
expected, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

Kevin Richards, earthquake and tsunami manager for Hawaii State Civil Defense, said water,
natural-gas and power lines were not damaged by the smaller-than-expected waves.
